I stumbled across your blog MONTHS ago, and I forgot to bookmark it. I remembered about your blog recently and yay - I FOUND IT again (Hurrah for Google!). I am 25 and recently made the decision to go back and study architecture (an old passion of mine), this, combined with my love for cats as well, pretty much ensures I will be a regular reader to your blog (now that I've found it again!!). PS - I hope no-one shows Annie Choi a photo of the gerkin in London... she will FLIP! Amanda. Hello!

She worked best at night. The silence in student halls in the early hours of the morning (broken only by the occasional squeaking bed spring) was conducive to writing. If, however, she felt in need of a coffee and a chat, she knew that the only place on campus at four in the morning to find someone bright eyed and bushytailed and always ready for both was in the design studios of the School of Architecture. Unfortunately for her it became a habit. I'm sure she would say to Ms Choi that in the long run most of them do recover. As they get older they do it more and talk less about it (architecture that is). Unfortunately, in general, they don't get any richer - but as Ms Choi gets older she might one day have enough money to move out of her tiny bedsit and get one of her architect friends to design her a house - then she can REALLY take advantage of the freebies from the lawyer friend!
